Abstract

This research evaluates the Bengkulu Provincial Government Mess as a potential site for rukyatulhilal, given that its selection has lacked a systematic, scientific foundation. The study focuses on three main aspects: first, the region’s geographical and astronomical characteristics; second, how well the chosen location aligns with established ideal parameters for crescent observation; and third, how site determination can be adapted to local conditions based on empirical findings. A qualitative approach grounded in geographical-astronomical analysis was employed. The results reveal that factors linked to the western horizon—specifically its alignment with the Indian Ocean at sea level—introduce notable meteorological disturbances, including high wave activity, strong sea breezes, and elevated water vapor content, all of which can impede visual detection of the hilal. Based on these insights, the study proposes updated criteria for selecting observation sites, recommending that optimal locations avoid a western horizon directly at sea level, particularly along the Indian Ocean frontage.

Abstract

The Indonesian state has an obligation to protect the basic rights of its citizens, including the right to be buried properly according to their religion and beliefs. This research aims to analyze the reconstruction of regulations on burial practices facing the Qibla for Muslims from the perspective of Islamic law and human rights. This study is a normative legal research with a conceptual and legislative approach. The research findings emphasize that the state plays a role in ensuring that Muslims can fulfill their religious obligation regarding graves facing the Qibla, which can be realized through the provision of appropriate burial facilities, education, and non-discriminatory regulations. The local government strives to achieve this by measuring and establishing the direction of the qibla at Public Cemeteries (TPU), enhancing socialization, and conducting regular calibration and evaluation. Therefore, the state needs to reconstruct the regulations for graves facing the Qibla, in accordance with Islamic law and positive law, through the revision of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1987, which includes standardizing the direction of the Qibla, educating burial officers, optimizing land use, and clarifying the role of local governments. With comprehensive regulations, the state can guarantee human rights, particularly the freedom of religion and belief. Keywords: Religious Rights, Islamic Law, Islamic Burial, Role of the State.
